A Jewelry Display You Can Set Up in 30 Minutes

When I first started selling my work, my jewelry display was quite elaborate.

I thought my booth looked wonderful – although in hindsight, now I think it was actually too fussy looking.

It took several boxes and plastic tubs to store and transport my jewelry and all of my displays – and even when I worked as fast as I could, it took over two hours to set up my display at shows and jewelry parties.

It also took forever to take down afterward, and at most venues I was always the last exhibitor to leave.

My elaborate display nearly made me decide that selling jewelry was too much effort!

So with each event I did, I started coming up with ways to make everything more compact, multi-purpose, streamlined, and fast.

One of the principles that guided my evolving jewelry display system was that I wanted to store all of my jewelry right on the displays.

That would not only take up a lot less space in my closet, but it would also eliminate a huge part of the setup and takedown time at shows.

So little by little, I evolved to my current jewelry display system – which I can set up completely in 30 minutes.

See photos and descriptions of how all of my jewelry display elements work together:

• the jewelry trays that store and display my work,
• the cheap and simple display risers I use to elevate my trays off the tabletop,
• the jewelry carrying cases I use to store and transport all of my loaded displays,
• my jewelry display booth lights that illuminate my work,
• my cheap, simple, stackable booth signs,
• the portable aluminum jewelry display tables that fold up quite small for storage,
• and finally, how all the elements of my jewelry show display work together for a fast booth setup time of about 30 minutes.

If your jewelry display takes so much time to set up that you’re too exhausted to sell your jewelry, I highly recommend that you start finding ways to streamline and things you can eliminate.

It’s made a huge difference for me – and I find that I sell more jewelry at shows now.

I think it’s partly because my new jewelry display does a great job of showcasing my work without stealing the spotlight from it.

But it’s also because I’ve saved my energy for selling jewelry – instead of wasting energy on setting up for the show.
